The Minister for Lands, Forestry and Mines, Professor Dominic Fobih, has stated that the country would not achieve its dream of a "golden age of business" if the bottlenecks associated with the administration and management of land were not removed.
He said some land sector agencies, especially the Land Valuation Board, Survey Department and Lands Commission secretariat are to be re-organized into a new Lands Commission to facilitate easier land title registrations.
The Minister was inaugurating a 20-member Central region Lands Commission at Cape Coast.
The Commission, which was sworn-in by Mr Justice Erasmus Gyinayeh, the Supervising Cape Coast High Court Judge, is to among others things help to carve a better image for the Lands Commission, address land disputes and facilitate the attraction and retention of investors in the Region.
He stressed that the re-organization of the agencies under one body was being done in accordance with the implementation of the road-map for the Land Administration Programme (LAP), which is in the fourth year of implementation.
"The re-organization of some of the lands sector agencies have gone through wide consultation and currently a bill named Lands Commission Bill is before Cabinet for consideration, as soon as approval is given by cabinet, the bill would be laid before Parliament to be passed into law", he said.
